Disclaimer: I don't own Saving Hope or The Originals.

I'm back! Hey guys welcome to the next chapter of New Hope. I'm sorry it was so late, I honestly didn't mean to make it this late, I keep meaning to get it posted on time, but I'm always getting distracted by life in general. If I completed chapter 12 tomorrow, I'll post that then, too.

Chaos Sorcerer, thank you for the review and to answer your question, Joel is related to the Mikaelsons and I never really saw either Rebekah or Freya being with Joel in any romantic or sexual way, just because, obviously, he looks exactly like their brother. Though, I agree with you, Rebekah definitely deserves to be loved.

Chapter 11

"I'm a little busy right now, Klaus," he said, shrugging Klaus's arm off his shoulder.

"I couldn't care less if you were in the middle of the most important job in the world," Klaus scoffed. "I need to find a certain witch and I need you to help."

"Well, I'm trying to get in touch with the woman I don't know who my babysitter dropped my son off with. I'm sure as a father yourself, you can understand that knowing my son is safe is more important than whatever witch you need found." Klaus was torn for all of about 3 seconds. On the one hand, this was about the Hollow and his daughter's safety. On the other, he did know what that was like. He had felt that need to know his child was safe every lucid moment he'd had for the past 5 years.

"Call whoever you need to," he said. "But after that, I need you to help me find the Hollow's minion in our midst." Joel nodded. "Who's he with?"

"Josh said he was with Hayley and Hope," he said as he typed in the number Josh had given him.

"Hayley left Hope with Mary." Joel stopped before turning and looking at him.

"What?"

"She left Hope with Hayley's husbands grandmother, Mary." Joel scowled and pressed the call button. A female voice answered.

"I'm kind of busy."

"Yes, but apparently you're not busy looking after my son," he said, still scowling.

"Who is this?" she asked, sounding surprised.

"Joel Goran. The one who's soon Josh stopped off with you and now Klaus is telling me that you're not looking after either of our kids. Where. Is. My. Son?" Silence came from the other end of the phone, Joel watching somewhat impatiently with Klaus behind him, looking amused.

"He's in the bayou, with my friend, Mary. He's perfectly fine."

"My son… is in a swamp." Klaus burst out laughing before Joel shot him a glare. He quieted down a bit, still grinning from amusement.

"He's fine."

"A swamp!"

"He's fine! Mary's been babysitting Hope on and off for the past 5 years, she knows what to do!"

"Give me her number." Hayley sighed and reeled it off before Joel hung up on her and started typing in Mary's number.

"Just remember to look for the witch who is an accomplice to the Hollow when you're done here," Klaus told him. "If I'm remembering correctly, the Hollow almost took your son as one of her sacrifices before we stopped it. Now it's time to stop it for good." Klaus walked away to find Vincent as Joel pressed the dial button.

-TO/SH-

Josh approached Vincent.

"Hey. Stiff drinks, hot waiters, seems like a cool shindig," he started off casually. "No what I could really use?"

"Any word at all from Marcel Gerard," Vincent said with a sigh.

"Bingo. I was going to look into that with the help of a, Uh, certain homicidal supermodel, not that she's giving me much of a choice. You got a plan?"

"I'm not going around shaking hands with everyone for no reason," Vincent told him. "I've got to go find Klaus."

"You're working with Klaus?!"

"I've kinda got no choice, man! It's this, or the Hollow starts killing everyone." With that he went to find Klaus. He found him a few minutes later. "Nice speech." Klaus turned to face him. "Nice speech, but I don't think anybody believed it."

"Well your concern has been duly noted. Now why don't you go back to making friends so that we can find out which of these freeloaders is working for the Hollow." Vincent scoffed.

"And while I'm doing that, are you going to be doing anything?"

"Of course. I'm going to be playing host and checking on whether or not my other witch had found anything."

-TO/SH-

Joel got off the phone after telling Mary everything she needed to know, and got started on finding the Hollow's priest as he went back into the main room where the party was being held. He stood against the wall, drinking from his champagne glass. Occasionally, servers would approach him with a glass of blood and he would have to hold himself back from being sarcastic and snarky, reminding himself that he did actually look like a particular Vampire and therefore people would mistake him for one.

His mind reached across the room, looking for anything or anyone connected to the Hollow. His head tilted to the side as he heard someone's plan. He searched for Klaus's mind, finding the Hybrid quickly.

"Blonde, by the stairs," he said. "He's the priest of the Hollow." He barely contained a laugh as the Original's head snapped up, looking around in surprise. "Don't look so surprised, you knew my magic is based in my mind, of course I would be able to do this." Klaus met his eyes from across the room and Joel tilted his head slightly in the priest's direction. He saw Klaus look in that direction just as Vincent pointed him out and left the courtyard. After a few minutes, he came across a room with the door slightly ajar. He pushed it further open to see two witches in front of a safe.

"Gentlemen. Shall we discuss why this isn't in your best interests?" Joel said, channeling his inner Elijah, and announcing himself to the Hollow's followers. 2 minutes later saw two witches leave the Mikaelson compound with no memory of how they got there or what they were doing, or even that the Hollow existed at all. An hour later saw Klaus storm into the room with Elijah and Hayley behind him only to stop short at the sight of Joel sitting on one of the chairs putting his phone away after checking up on Luke and asking the wolf babysitting him to bring him to the compound he was in now so that he could bring him home. He looked up.

"You know, when there's a volatile evil witch spirit trying to come back to life and kill everyone, maybe you shouldn't leave one of the bones she needs to come back to life alone where anyone could get to it," he said, waving his hand at them, which held the bone blade of Papa Tunde.

So you're a two witch kind of guy? Joel doesn't usually have much of an inner Elijah to channel, but part of me couldn't help myself, so there it is. So I know this isn't an episode and a half, but I've been pretty busy, and you guys deserve chapters. Sorry again, about how late this is…. And I'm sorry it's so short...

Review please?
